Tuesday Evening Gold ride update
by Lee Cole 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

Hey everyone, An update for the Thursday Evening Gold ride. In my announcement last evening I did not include the Inclement weather policy statement which is: "Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride." Checking the weather.com website it seems a chance of rain will be 8:00pm. I am planning to ride. Lee

**CVC Saturday Gold Ride, April 9th, 8:30am *** **Meeting at Citibank Parking Lot - Westlake Village -- Westlake Blvd. & Agoura Road (North East Corner) Route: Hidden Valley, Dos Vientos, Lynn Rd, Multi use bypass, La Granada, Pentagon part and back. 33 miles with 2,500' of climbing. *** Hey Gold Riders, OK... Looks like cool weather with some clouds this Saturday. Lets do the Hidden Valley, Dos Vientos, La Granada ride. There are a few opportunities to shorten the ride if needed. This will be in the same general direction as the Orange ride and we will start 2 to 3 min behind them. The reason for this is to eliminate the possibility of getting riders mixed up and not going on the ride they were planning. It has happened. This is something the ride committee has requested when rides start out in the same direction. Hope you will be patient with the small delay to get going. Here is the RideWithGPS link where you can view the route, print out a map and cue sheet: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/202033 The Gold ride is an intermediate recreational ride, 30 to 40 miles in length with an average pace of 14+ mph. It is not a "no drop" ride but as always let's try to stick together as much as possible. Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. Lets have safe and fun ride. See you Saturday!
